This recipe is from David Paul’s Lahaina Grill in Lahaina, Maui. This dessert may make you sing and is a guaranteed hit at any fun affair. It’s also a really pretty cake, and is especially attractive when you save an assortment of chiles to garnish the platter.
Brilliant Bayou Pumpkin Seed Snack
Neighbors stop by unexpectedly? Don’t panic. You can whip up this fun snack in less time than it takes to polish off a beer or two. Of course, the trick is to have these ingredients on hand at all times. This is easily accomplished, as pumpkin seeds last practically forever when kept in a cool, dry place in an airtight bag or jar
Sweet Potato Chips Dusted with Chimayo Red Chile
This snack is a hot twist on party chips. I have had great success in substituting sweet potatoes for potatoes in many recipes.
Habanero Sauce Party Mix
An entire generation grew up munching on Chex® party mix. Adding the habanero takes it up a few notches on the Scovie Heat Scale!
Peppered Walnuts
Hot nuts are quite the rage these days, with commercial brands of hot and spicy pistachios, pecans, and peanuts now available. I add my two cent’s worth with this recipe for walnuts.
